OK but Walter White was making those decisions alone, no one could stop him, etc…whereas it just really stretched my imagination that Dinesh and Gilfoyle, who are both 1) very smart and 2) self-interested and a bit cowardly would immediately go, "oh yep, that is definitely the only way we can think of to get people to

I mean, yeah, it's a sitcom, you want to work with the same characters, so it was nice to find a way to interact with the Hooli world and make that joke (I am a journalist traveling all the time, and I confess I have log in to many government / company - run wifi networks in an airport lobby. What else am I gonna do?).

I know, they steal the wifi network Hooli already has in place. But, you don't actually have to provide ongoing mobile data for thousands of people in perpetuity. It's really not that expensive to set up a wifi network that 50-100 people can log on to at once for some shitty connectivity. It's what every airport in

I know, I know, it's a sitcom, but the scheme they pull to get people to download the app is unnecessarily and uncharacteristically risky. You could easily set up routers near malls, or parks, or airports, and do it basically 100% legal just by saying "to use this wifi you agree to download this app" in the small

I mean I know it's a comic book but for how grim, and boring, and 'realistic' they make everything, it's a bit off how insanely and irrationally evil everybody they encounter is. That's not actually how you develop a stable society / settlement or survive. Yeah, you have to kill pragmatically, maybe even be terrible,

You're not entirely wrong, Neegan wants control and tribute, not permanent war, but as Glazedhaim said, the entire world is mostly impossibly evil gangs, and the order is still way less stable than you'd expect after this amount of time. You'd think by now people would know what is going on, who rules where, what the

You are right. The show had a great shot at being a look at comparative political / economic systems, probably (but not necessarily) quickly arriving at a relatively stable feudal order with groups and armies carving out their own territories, or maybe something like tribes, who do NOT need to be in constant murderous

I was in Russia, hung over. I was just flicking through the hotel channel, just, not caring. I started to watch what looked like the beginning of a zombie movie. But wait, it stopped after an hour. Then they showed me the SECOND episode of a show apparently called the walking dead. Oh, shit. They had me. A year later

Whoaaaah [spoiler alert] the outfits and music in 2002 were soooo good

Yeah I think that one may be in the Bible actually

Well, actually, it would seem like nothing organic / no food appears in the Upside Down. If it did, the beast would have no need to break into our dimension and drag back a deer to eat. I saw it as basically El doing what the beast had done with the deer, but with eggos. Who knows maybe Hopper is leaving them right

You are on to something though. I grew up in an LA high school with lots of latinos (with varying accents) and now I live in Latin America.
